MIDLAND, MI – August is months away, but folks at the Midland County Fair are already predicting a “Tornado” coming their way.

Grammy Award-winning country band Little Big Town brings “Tornado” and the album’s four hit singles to the fair’s grandstand Sunday, Aug. 10. The show begins at 7 p.m. and tickets, on sale Thursday, March 13, at the box office at 6905 Eastman, by calling 989-835-7901 and through Startickets.com, cost $56 for platinum seating and $38.60 for gold seating, which includes the grandstand.

“We got some great feedback” after bringing concerts back to the Midland County Fair, said Manager Trish Steele, and this season, the opportunity to book Little Big Town opened for them.

“We’ve wanted to bring them here for a couple of years,” she added. “But we’ve also changed up a few things, offering other entertainment options, so it is our own concert this time around.”

Filling out the schedule during fair week, Aug. 10-16, are MotoCross and AutoCross events, she said, as organizers look for ways to tap into “a fresh, different audience.”

Still, she said, there’s no denying the draw of a good country band.

Little Big Town, featuring vocalists Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet, hit the ground running with “Boondocks” in 2005 and followed it up with “Bring It on Home” and “Little White Church.” But “Tornado” has proven the perfect storm, including the group’s first No. One hit, “Pontoon,” which won a Grammy Award in 2013. And the album’s fourth single, “Sober,” recently debuted at No. 27 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

The band also took back-to-back Country Music Awards for vocal group of the year in 2012 and 2013.
